NOTE: Many USB host peripheral devices supported on personal computers are not supported by this unit. Th ere are two classes of USB devices that have native support in the OS:

1. USB Human Interface Devices (HID). Examples include keyboards and some barcode scanners.

2. USB Mass-Storage devices. Examples include memory sticks, hard disks, some digital cameras and memory card readers.

Before purchasing a USB peripheral, check with the manufacturer to ensure that it will operate with one of these natively supported USB classes. Some devices have no applicability in Windows Mobile. For example, mice do not make sense to use with your unit because it is designed to be touchscreen or keypad operated.

Serial I/O Boot: Th is boot has a mini-USB client and an RS-232 connector for use with serial devices.

NOTE: COM1 is always reserved in software for the 9-pin port, even if you don’t have a unit with a serial boot.

Working with the Unit and the BatteryBattery life: Th e Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery life is dependent upon the application and operating environment.

Tips for extending the battery life• Keypad backlight: Th e default is OFF. Using this backlight could reduce your battery life by up to 25%. For information on changing the backlight settings, see page 18.

• Display backlight: Tap Start / Settings / System / Backlight to minimize the amount of time the backlight stays on and dim it to only as bright as required to view the display.

• Wi-Fi, camera, or barcode scanner: If your unit comes with any of these options installed, use ONLY when necessary. Turn off when not needed. Minimize the Flash intensity and the use of the fl ashlight.

• Cold temperatures: Keep the unit as warm as possible. If feasible, keep it inside your coat or a vehicle when not in use.

• GPS: Ensure that the GPS-aware applications that communicate with the GPS are closed when not in use. Th e Today screen indicates if the GPS is running.

• Expansion ports: Select low-power consumption CF and SD cards and use them only when necessary.

• Auto features: Tap Start / Settings / System / Power / Advanced. To conserve battery power, specify your unit to turn off in a short time if not in use.

Other factors that may have some impact on battery life include heavy usage of the Bluetooth radio and heavy processing by the CPU, but these factors are typically less signifi cant.

Charging the batteryTh e battery can be charged in the unit or apart from the unit with an external battery charger (sold separately, as an accessory). Connect the AC plug for your country to the AC adapter. Plug into an electrical outlet and plug the barrel end of the AC adapter into the unit. Th e unit will be charged in about 4.5 hours.

A full charge is indicated by the battery LED (right side of the unit) turning green. Th e recommended temperature range for charging is between +32 °F and +113 °F (0 °C and +45 °C). If the battery temperature is outside of this range, the battery will not charge.

Warning! Be sure to only use the AC adapter included with your unit. Use of other adapters may void the product warranty.

Changing the battery Th e battery is designed to be quickly changed. Th e unit saves enough power that if you swap the battery within approximately one minute, it will not trigger a reset. If the saved power runs out before the new battery is installed, the unit will reset. Th is will not impact saved data, programs or confi guration, however unsaved data will be lost and the time settings will need to be reset.

To change a battery, perform the following steps:

1. Close open applications and save data in case the battery exchange takes too long.

2. Remove the hand strap from the unit.

3. Enter the Replace Battery mode (ensures that alarms will not wake up the unit while changing the battery). Press and hold the Power key and tap Replace Battery. See page 14.

4. Use the supplied stylus or a small #1 Philips head screwdriver to loosen the four screws in the battery door.

5. Remove the battery from the unit.

6. Quickly insert the replacement battery onto the unit.

7. Place the battery door over the battery, with the fl at side of the battery door at the top of the unit. Use the stylus or screwdriver to fi nger-tighten the four screws.

8. Replace the hand strap.

9. Turn on the unit to resume operation.

Calibrating the batteryTh e battery has an internal gauge that provides an estimate of the amount of energy in the battery as it charges and discharges. If your battery is showing inaccuracy in the power gauge or large jumps in capacity, (i.e. the power is reading 50% and goes dead shortly thereafter) it may need calibration.

Tap Start / Settings / System / Power / Calibration to see if the message reads Calibration recommended or Calibration not necessary. If calibration is recommended or the battery is reporting inaccurately, perform the following:

1. Plug in the AC adapter. Th e unit MUST stay plugged in during the calibration or you may need to restart the process.

2. Ensure the temperature is between +32 °F and +113 °F (0 °C and +45 °C) while charging.

3. Tap Start Calibration.

4. During the calibration process, the Power key is disabled temporarily and the backlight is turned up to 100%.

It takes up to 25 hours to complete the calibration. When fi nished, a notifi cation will state Calibration is complete. It is recommended to not use your unit during the calibration process. To stop the calibration process, tap Start / Settings / System / Power / Calibration / Stop Calibration.

Possible error messages that can occur during calibration:

Error Message Solution

5. Use the ADL Uplink unit’s File Explorer app to navigate to this folder and double tap the ADL Uplink upgrade CAB fi le.

Installing additional software on your unitTh ird-party software designed for Windows Mobile is installed by running a setup program on the PC while the unit is connected over ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center. Follow the setup instructions that came with your software. If prompted, perform a reset to complete the installation.

Working with the GPS Tap Start / Settings / System / System Information / Wireless to see if your unit has built-in GPS. COM2 is the dedicated hardware port for the built-in GPS (COM1 is dedicated to the external 9-pin). Th e GPS is compatible with applications that accept the NMEA position information using a default setting of 9600 bps.

Using A-GPSIf the GPS has been used in the prior 72 hours, Assisted GPS (A-GPS) will retain a memory of the satellite paths. Th e A-GPS satellite data is stored in memory for the satellites visible in your current position. Th erefore the ADL Uplink can lock on the satellites quickly, in less than 20 seconds in an open sky.

GPS settings If you are using only one GPS-aware application, these settings do not need to be changed. However, to use multiple GPS-aware applications, tap Start / Settings / System / GPS and select the following tabs:

Access: Th e GPS Intermediate Driver allows multiple applications to access the GPS receiver (disabled by default). To enable the GPS Intermediate Driver, select the check box.

Hardware: COM2 is the hardware port dedicated for the built-in GPS. Verify that COM2 is selected. Th e internal GPS communicates at 9600 baud by default. If it has been modifi ed by a third party program, adjust to match the receiver baud rate.

Programs: Programs that use GPS need to know which port to use to access GPS data. Ensure that the COM port on the GPS-aware application is set to the same port as shown in the Programs tab of the GPS applet port as shown in the Programs tab of the GPS applet. Th e programs port must be a diff erent port than the hardware port.

NOTE: Some GPS-aware applications may not communicate over GPD ports.

A-GPS: While Assisted GPS can improve time-to-fi rst-fi x, it may reduce accuracy in some situations. Uncheck the box next to Enable Assisted GPS and reboot your unit if you wish to disable it.

If you are unable to connect to the GPS using the default GPS settings, you can restore it to factory default settings by performing a shutdown, and leaving it shut down for approximately 5 minutes. See Power key features on page 10.

Using SatViewerYour ADL Uplink may have SatViewer™ installed that is ONLY for use with units with built-in GPS. External GPS receivers, Bluetooth GPS receivers, GPS CF cards or other external GPS devices (including other SiRF II or SiRF III GPS receivers) are not supported and may not work correctly with SatViewer.

On your ADL Uplink, tap Start / Settings / System / System Information / Wireless to see if it has built-in GPS. If it does, COM2 is the dedicated hardware port for the built-in GPS (COM1 is dedicated to the external 9-pin). Your ADL Uplink GPS receiver is compatible with applications that accept the NMEA position information using a default setting of 9600 bps.

Quick Start: Th e following steps will allow you to quickly connect to the GPS with default settings:

1. Start SatViewer by tapping Start / Programs / SatViewer.

2. Tap on the GPS tab.

3. Make sure the COM setting is set to COM2.

4. Tap Connect to GPS. Th e fi elds Lat, Lon, Spd, Az and Ht will all read ? until SatViewer connects to the GPS and obtains a satellite fi x. If you are attempting to get a satellite fi x for the fi rst time, it may take several minutes and it is recommended to position your ADL Uplink unit outside with no overhead obstructions.

5. Tap Sky. Lat and Lon will change to current latitude and longitude when a satellite fi x has been completed.

Welcome to SatViewer Your on-board GPS receiver features a 20-channel SiRF III GPS receiver. Th e typical expected accuracy for this GPS receiver is about fi ve to fi fteen meters. It has the capability of receiving correction signals (Satellite-Based Augmentation System, SBAS) which may improve the accuracy of the GPS. However, these correction signals are not consistently available in all locations. Th e typical expected accuracy of the GPS receiver with the correction signals is about three to fi ve meters in an open sky. Your ADL Uplink GPS receiver updates its position once every second. It may take several minutes to start tracking the fi rst time you try to use it because it needs time to update its position and download current satellite information from the GPS satellites. Th is process will occur faster in a location with open sky.

After your ADL Uplink has downloaded the current satellite information, Assisted GPS (A-GPS) will retain a memory of the satellite paths up to 72 hours. Th erefore the ADL Uplink can lock on the satellites quickly, in less than 20 seconds in an open sky.

SatViewer provides a way to quickly start using the GPS functionality of the ADL Uplink, but it is not a stand-alone mapping, GIS or navigation program by itself. SatViewer is useful for checking the GPS confi guration and enabling advanced features of your ADL Uplink GPS receiver when these settings are not made available in other applications. When changing any GPS settings or other settings, it is important to wait a few moments after tapping on the desired option to allow time for your ADL Uplink GPS receiver to implement the requested change. SatViewer communicates with your ADL Uplink GPS receiver to compute your current position, speed, direction (azimuth) and height. Th is information is displayed at the top of the screen along with other information about the satellite signals. Speed and direction measurements are only useful when your ADL Uplink GPS receiver is in motion. Standing in one position with your ADL Uplink GPS receiver may result in inaccurate readings in direction and speed. If you are not moving, direction is reported as “?” and speed is reported as “0”. Height calculations from a GPS receiver are typically not very accurate. Vertical accuracy is about two to three times worse than the horizontal accuracy). Units of measurement are only displayed in U.S. feet and heights are only displayed in height above mean sea level (MSL).

Th e pages of the application are accessed by tapping the various tabs, which are laid out in index card format. Th e information in each tab is described on the following pages.

Sky Tab

Sky Plot Graphic: Th e Sky Plot is a graphical representation of where the satellites are positioned in the sky. Th e top of the circle represents north, the center is straight up, and the farthest right point is east. Th e outer blue circle represents the horizon and the red circle represents the elevation mask. Th e light gray circles radiating out from the center are the zenith angles in ten degree increments. Th e lines bisecting the light gray circles divide the circle into thirty degree azimuths.

Th e satellite icons are color coded to indicate if they are used, unused, or SBAS satellites. Each icon is labeled with the corresponding satellite’s ID number (PRN). If Leave satellite SNR trails is checked, the path of the satellites are also marked by a dotted line as each satellite moves across the sky.

Status Indicators: Th e following four messages are displayed around the sky plot to indicate the current settings confi gured on other pages:

• Corrections Disabled / SBAS Enabled: displays if Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) is enabled or disabled. When SBAS is enabled, your ADL Uplink GPS receiver will attempt to locate, track and use correctional data supplied from an SBAS satellite in order to improve accuracy. Th ere are a limited number of SBAS satellites available, so they may not be readily accessible in your area. Th is setting is confi gured in the Type fi eld on the DGPS page.

• In SiRF Bin. Mode / In NMEA Mode: indicates which mode you are running in. Some applications may require GPS data to be sent to the application in the form of a NMEA message, where other applications require the GPS data be sent as a SiRF Binary message. Most mapping and navigation applications can use the NMEA message. Th is setting is confi gured with the NMEA/SiRF Binary radio buttons on the GPS page.

• Elev. Mask: displays the current elevation mask. Th is is the minimum angle above the horizon that a satellite must be located before it is used and is represented on the sky plot by a red circle. Th is setting is useful when using the GPS in areas where there might be obstructions to the view of low fl ying satellites (e.g. around buildings or trees). A typical elevation mask setting is between 5 and 15 degrees to eliminate those satellites from being used to calculate a position. Th e purpose for this setting is to increase the accuracy of the GPS. However, by using this setting, you are reducing the total number of satellites that can be tracked and used by your ADL Uplink GPS receiver. Th e idea is to eliminate those satellites that may degrade the accuracy of your ADL Uplink GPS receiver. Th is is confi gured in the Masks section of the GPS page.

• Masks: Displays the current PDOP and HDOP mask values as confi gured in the Masks section of the GPS page. If the measured Dilution of Precision (DOP) value exceeds the value set for the corresponding mask, the resulting calculated position will be ignored. In general, as the value of the DOP decreases, the accuracy of the GPS position increases. DOP values greater than six usually indicate the GPS position data is of poor quality (due to poor satellite geometry) and the resulting positions are less accurate.

NOTE: DOPs can not be displayed in Binary Mode, however, the DOP masks are still in eff ect.

Satellite Icons• Unused: A GPS satellite whose signal is being received, but not being used for position calculations.

• Used: A GPS satellite that is being used to calculate your current position.

• SBAS: A Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) satellite, which can be used for error corrections. (See the DGPS page for more information.)

Leave SNR trails: Creates a dot on the screen for all previous satellite positions that form a trail on the sky plot over time as the satellite moves across the sky.

DOPs Bar Graph: displays the various Dilution of Precision (DOP) values as explained below. DOPs are not displayed when SiRF Binary is selected on the GPS page.

• PDOP: displays the Position Dilution of Precision, which is a combination of HDOP, VDOP and Time Dilution of Precision. It will always be larger than HDOP and VDOP.

• HDOP: displays the Horizontal Dilution of Precision, which is a measure of the calculated accuracy of the solution. DOP has no units and lower numbers indicate better solution geometry. In general, the lower the DOP value, the better confi dence you have in the position reading from your ADL Uplink GPS receiver.

• VDOP: displays the Vertical Dilution of Precision, which is a measure of the calculated elevation.

Each DOP bar is color coded to indicate the DOP quality as follows:

Green: Th e DOP is less than three (best).

Yellow: Th e DOP is greater than three, but less than six.

Orange: Th e DOP is greater than or equal to six, but less than twenty.

Red: Th e DOP is greater than or equal to twenty (worst).

Signal vs. Satellite Bar Graph: shows all the visible satellites and their corresponding ID numbers (PRN) ranging from 1 to 32. Also, the PRN for any currently tracked SBAS satellite (ranging from 122 to 138) is displayed in this graph. Tapping any bar will also display the signal to noise ratio (SNR) value for that satellite. Th e color of each bar indicates the following:

Green: Good satellite signal strength. Satellite is used with an SNR greater than or equal to thirty dB.

Yellow: Fair satellite signal strength. Satellite is used with an SNR less than thirty dB.

Red: No signal or the signal strength is below the minimum allowable threshold. Satellite is not used.

• NMEA message settings under the Advanced page are changed as follows:

o GGA – 1 seco GSA – 1 seco GLL – off o VTG – off o GSV – 1 seco RMC – off

NMEA message settings (set to default or otherwise) will be sent to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver and applied the next time you connect to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver (with output set to NMEA).

• DGPS settings under the DGPS tab are set back to their defaults of Usage: Auto, Type: SBAS ON and SBAS Sat. PRN: Auto

Since you are not connected to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver, none of the above changes are actually applied to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver. To apply these settings, you will need to fi rst connect to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver and then tap on the Restore Defaults button.

• If the Microsoft GPS driver is not used, the COM port gets set to COM2.

• If the Microsoft GPS driver is used, the COM port gets changed to its assigned program port.

• Baud rate is set to 9600

• Data bits are set to 8

• Flow is set to None

• Parity is set to None

• Stop bit is set to 1

To completely restore your ADL Uplink GPS receiver back to the factory settings, perform a system shut down on your ADL Uplink for a minimum of fi ve minutes before turning the unit back on and attempting to reconnect with your ADL Uplink GPS receiver in SatViewer. In order to perform a system shut down, press down and hold the Power button for a few seconds and then release. A Power Menu is displayed with diff erent options. Tap on the Shutdown button to put your ADL Uplink into a system shutdown. Th is procedure is benefi cial when you are unable to connect your ADL Uplink GPS receiver to SatViewer due to a change in the communications settings caused by another software application. In most cases, the factory reset procedure only needs to be used when another application has changed the settings of the ADL Uplink GPS receiver and you would like to set them back to their original confi guration.

NMEA / SiRF Binary: is where you choose to set your ADL Uplink GPS receiver to NMEA mode or SiRF Binary mode. When in SiRF Binary mode, DOP values are not available in the Sky page. Th e mode you select here will also determine the format for the information that can be viewed from the Data View page. Most GPS applications require that your ADL Uplink GPS receiver be set to output NMEA messages. Th ere are some specialized GPS applications which require the SiRF Binary output mode. Please consult the documentation of your GPS application to see which output format you should use and then choose that option via this setting.

Static Navigation: Th is feature keeps your ADL Uplink GPS receiver from showing the normal erratic positions when standing still. When checked, small changes in your position are interpreted as GPS error and your computed position will remain unchanged. For applications where you will be mapping or navigating at walking speed or slower, it is recommended to disable this feature, so even small changes in position will be shown.

Smooth Tracking: Th is feature smoothes the track generated by your ADL Uplink GPS receiver. When checked, movement is smoothed mathematically to reduce the seemingly jagged movement resulting from GPS error. For unfi ltered, raw GPS readings, you should leave this box unchecked. However, if you want to see a smoother overall position (e.g. while navigating), then turn this feature on via the checkbox.

NOTE: Both the Static Navigation and Smooth Tracking features modify your true GPS positions mathematically so these features should not be used when you need the most accurate GPS positions available.

Masks: Th ese defi ne limits that determine when a satellite will be used or not used.

• Elevation: Th is is the minimum angle above the horizon that a satellite must be located before it is used. A value of zero would essentially turn off the elevation mask. A value of ninety would mask all satellites. A typical elevation mask setting is between fi ve and fi fteen degrees to block tracking of those satellites potentially aff ected by multipath error due to obstructions (e.g. buildings or trees). Multipath error is error to the GPS position from the satellite signal bouncing off of objects before reaching the GPS receiver.

• PDOP: Th is is the maximum allowable Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP), which is a combination of HDOP, VDOP and Time Dilution of Precision. While exceeded, the GPS data will not be used for position calculations. Th is setting is advantageous when quality and reliability of your position are of concern. Typically, PDOP values of six or greater are considered “suspect” and therefore resulting positions are less reliable.

• HDOP: Th is is the maximum allowable Horizontal Dilution of Precision (PDOP), which is a measure of the geometrical quality of the solution. While exceeded, the GPS data will not be used for position calculations.

NOTE: DOPs can not be displayed in Binary Mode, however, the DOP masks are still in eff ect.

GPS status voice prompt: When checked, changes in GPS quality will result in an audible message indicating the change.

Advanced: When tapped, opens the Advanced GPS screen described on the following page.

Advanced GPS Page Return to Default Settings:

When connected to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver: Tapping the Return to Default Settings button, the following settings are changed and applied to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver:

• Resets NMEA strings to defaults of:

o GGA – 1 sec o GSA – 1 sec o GLL – off o VTG – off o GSV – 1 sec o RMC – off

NOTE: Th e COM settings are grayed out and cannot be changed until you disconnect from your ADL Uplink GPS receiver.

When disconnected from your ADL Uplink GPS receiver: Tapping the Return to Default Settings button, the following settings are changed:

• Resets NMEA strings to defaults of:

o GGA – 1 seco GSA – 1 seco GLL – off o VTG – off o GSV – 1 seco RMC – off

NMEA message settings (set to default or otherwise) will be sent to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver and applied the next time you connect to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver (with output set to NMEA).

• If the Microsoft GPS driver is not used, the COM port gets set to COM2.

• If the Microsoft GPS driver is used, the COM port gets changed to its assigned program port.

• Sets baud rate to 9600

• Data bits are set to 8

• Flow is set to None

• Parity is set to None

• Stop bit is set to 1

Since you are not connected to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver, none of the changes are actually applied to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver.

COM: used to select the COM port for communication between SatViewer and your ADL Uplink GPS receiver. Th is fi eld is also available on the GPS page for convenience and changing it in one location will automatically change it in the other location.

Baud: sets the speed for communications between your ADL Uplink GPS receiver and SatViewer. Th e baud rate of your ADL Uplink GPS receiver is 9600 by default. Please note, if you have used another application to change the baud rate of your ADL Uplink GPS receiver to 4800, it will take longer for your ADL Uplink GPS receiver to respond to changes made within SatViewer. During this period, you may see menu items grayed out while SatViewer is sending the new settings to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver.

Data Bits: should match the data bit rate set in the device you are communicating with.

Flow: should match the fl ow control set in the device you are communicating with.

Parity: should match the parity set in the device you are communicating with.

Stop bit: should match the stop bit set in the device you are communicating with.

NMEA Msg: Th is section allows you to control which NMEA messages are output by your ADL Uplink GPS receiver and the rate at which they are output. Th e GGA NMEA message is automatically enabled by default and cannot be disabled. You may change the frequency of output for the GGA NMEA message, but you may not disable it. Other NMEA messages listed may be disabled as well as changing the frequency of output. Th e ability to change the frequency of output and to disable certain messages is useful when communicating at a very low baud rate to prioritize which NMEA messages are sent. Each fi eld allows you to select a value from one to fi ve (measured in seconds), or to select OFF. For example, selecting three instructs the receiver to output the corresponding NMEA message once every three seconds. Selecting OFF instructs the receiver to never output the corresponding message. Th is setting is only applicable when you need to specify your ADL Uplink GPS receiver to send out very specifi c NMEA messages at specifi c times for your GPS application. Most users will not need to change this as the default NMEA settings will work for most GPS applications trying to display common GPS information (e.g. position, velocity, direction).

DGPS TabDiff erential GPS (DGPS) positioning involves subtracting a combination of ranges measured to various satellites from two or more receivers measuring the same satellites simultaneously. When the signals are subtracted, the major error sources cancel each other out.

Th e GPS receiver used with SatViewer can provide DGPS through the Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS), which uses multiple ground stations and then broadcasts corrections to the end users via SBAS satellites.

Usage: confi gures the DGPS requirements as follows:

• Auto: will use DGPS when available, but continue to provide autonomous (uncorrected) positions when DGPS is not available.

• DGPS Required: will only provide positions when DGPS is available. Autonomous positions will not be available. When DGPS data is available, it can be applied to your GPS position to increase the accuracy of your position reading.

• Ignored: will not provide DGPS positions even when available.

NOTE: Due to the limited number and availability of SBAS satellites in the sky, DGPS coverage from SBAS satellites may not always be available. Th erefore, it is recommended that you use the Auto setting where the GPS will use and apply DGPS data when available, but will continue providing positions even when DGPS is not available.

Type: allows you to select SBAS ON or SBAS OFF. (Currently SBAS is the only DGPS service available, but other DGPS systems may be available in the future.)

SBAS Sat. PRN: confi gures which SBAS satellite to use. Selecting Auto instructs the GPS receiver to automatically make the selection.

Return to Default Settings: If connected to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver, the following settings are changed and applied to your ADL Uplink GPS receiver:

• Restores DGPS settings back to default state:

o Usage: Auto

o Type: SBAS ON

o SBAS Sat PRN: Auto

If disconnected from your ADL Uplink GPS receiver this button has no eff ect on DGPS settings.

Data View Tab Th e Data View page allows you to capture and view the GPS data being sent to SatViewer by your ADL Uplink GPS receiver over the COM port. Th ere are two formats for data that can be viewed from this screen depending on if you are running in NMEA or SiRF Binary mode, as confi gured in the GPS page. Th is feature is useful if you have a need to view or store the raw GPS messages as they come out from your ADL Uplink GPS receiver in a textual format. Th is feature is for advanced GPS users who need the ability to store the raw GPS information as ASCII text in one large LOG fi le. Th is feature is intended to collect up to several minutes of data. It is not intended for extended data collection sessions.

When in NMEA mode, the data displayed is simply the raw NMEA codes being sent over the COM port, which are displayed in their original ASCII format.

When in SiRF Binary mode, the data being sent over the COM port is in binary format and therefore must be converted to ASCII text before it can be displayed in a useable format. Th is involves converting each binary message to hexadecimal text and adding a text tag to each message that explains what type of message it is.

Save: Opens a new screen where the contents of the Data View screen can be saved to a fi le.

TroubleshootingWhat do I do to keep my battery from failing during a job? Consider carrying a fully charged spare battery in the fi eld. Th e unit is designed so that battery replacement can be easily done.

How do I delete fi les? Open File Explorer and browse to the fi le to be deleted. Touch and hold on the fi le and tap Delete from the menu that appears. Unlike PC’s, Windows Mobile does not support a Recycle Bin. Once you delete a fi le, it cannot be recovered.

How can I see fi le extensions or fi le attributes? Windows Mobile File Explorer does not support viewing fi le extensions like Windows Explorer on a PC. You can connect the unit to your PC and browse from the PC to view fi le extensions. (Refer to Connecting to a PC on page 18 for details.) Th ird-party fi le management programs are available for Windows Mobile devices that may support a Recycle Bin, viewing fi le extensions and more.

How can I tell how much memory is available? Tap Start / Settings / System / Memory to view available free storage and program memory. Tap Storage Card to view available memory on memory cards that may be installed. If there is more than one card installed, tap the dropdown arrow to select the diff erent cards.

How can I make the display more viewable? Tap Start / Settings / System / Backlight / Brightness to adjust the display brightness; however, this will reduce battery life. You can also change the background theme found under Start / Settings / Personal / Today. Confi rm that you have only one screen protector in place.

Can I use my SDIO device with my unit? SDIO devices work as long as they are supported with Windows 6 drivers. An Extended Cap, sold as an accessory, can be used for oversized SD cards if your device does not have the camera or barcode scanner.

Can I work with Microsoft Offi ce fi les in Word Mobile and Excel Mobile? Offi ce Mobile applications are trimmed-down versions of the PC Microsoft Offi ce applications and do not support all of the features that are supported by the PC applications. You can view simple documents and make simple changes on your unit.

Can I use my USB memory stick (or mouse, keyboard, cell phone or other USB device) with my unit? Connecting peripheral devices via USB requires the USB I/O Boot. Many USB devices may work. Check with the device manufacturer to see if the device is supported under Windows Mobile. Special drivers may need to be installed.

Caring for your UnitCase vent hole: A Gore-Tex membrane is used at the vent hole to equalize the atmospheric pressure within the unit and to prevent dust, water, etc. from entering. Th e vent must remain clear of any obstruction. Damage to the touchscreen will occur if the vent is covered. Covering the vent with stickers and labels may void the warranty.

Cleaning the unitUse a soft, dampened cloth with either water or a diluted mild detergent. If a mild detergent is used, ensure all soap residue is removed. Do not use any chemical cleaners and do not put the unit in the dishwasher.

Care of the touchscreenUse only the included stylus or other devices specifi cally designed for use with touchscreens. DO NOT use the metal screwdriver end of the stylus on the touchscreen or it will scratch your screen. Only use the spring-tip end of the stylus.

Th e use of ballpoint pens, nails or other sharp objects to operate the touchscreen will scratch and/or damage the unit. Keep the touchscreen clean by gently wiping the display, using a soft, dampened cloth with either clean water or glass cleaner.

Do not use abrasive cleaners directly on the display. Doing so may void your warranty. Use the screen protectors included with the unit to keep the touchscreen clean and protected, following the instructions provided on the screen protector package.

Mechanical shockTh e unit is designed to resist damage for drops up to 4 ft (1.22 meters). However, you should protect the display from impact, pressure, or abrasive substances that can scratch it or crack it. Th e unit should not be dropped unnecessarily.

Environmental ConsiderationsTh e unit’s rugged design allows you to run your applications in harsh outdoor environments. Here are some considerations that will help you get the most out of your unit when working in very wet, hot or cold conditions.

WaterTh is unit is designed to withstand accidental immersion. To maintain the unit’s water resistant seal, it is important that the cap screws are fastened. Keep the bottom boot and its connectors as dry as possible. If the boot does get wet, dry off the contacts as much as possible. Removal of the back case torx screws or failure to reattach the cap or boot could cause leakage and may void your warranty.

Temperature range Th e operational temperature range is from -4 °F to +140 °F (-20 °C to +60 °C). Although the unit is designed to be rugged, do not leave it in direct sunlight or in a vehicle in the sunlight for extended periods.

Batteries perform best at room temperature. Th e battery has a stable capacity as temperatures rise; however, the colder the temperature, the greater the reduction in available battery life. Under very cold conditions (-4 °F / -20 °C and below), the battery life will be shortened. To improve the battery performance in very cold conditions, consider carrying a fully charged, spare battery in a warm place ( for instance, keeping them inside your coat). Th e unit is designed for battery replacement to be easily done.
